TV Derana celebrates World Children’s Day with first-ever aerial tour for schoolchildren

October 1, 2025   11:15 am

Marking a historic initiative, TV Derana today commemorated World Children’s Day by organizing a SriLankan Airlines charter flight carrying 250 schoolchildren on an aerial tour around Sri Lanka.

The special flight departed from the Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake a short while ago. 

The initiative, titled “Ahasin Gamanak,” is a heartwarming collaboration between TV Derana and Signal, a concept developed by IdeaHell to celebrate World Children’s Day.

A total of 250 talented schoolchildren, selected for their creative drawings and essays from across the country, were given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the beauty of Sri Lanka from the skies.
